After 20 minutes, nakarating narin kami sa venue. One of the Stanton's luxurious Restaurant. Dad offers his arms and I slid mine to him. It's like a father-daughter but deep inside a son bonding though. Bumuntung hininga muna ako before stepping in.
We arrived first and after a brief moment we saw a good looking 45 years old maybe na lumapit sa table namin. Dad shares a brief hug to him and I stood up and bless him for respect.
"So this is her? She's too perfect for my son." biro niya. I know right, can't believe you are fooled. Make sure to make your son as handsome as me. Atleast, to pay back for my sister.
"Natasha Imari, this is your future father-in-law. Mr. Gladio Esteban." ani dad.
"Nice meeting you po" I said with a charming smile.
"By the way, where's my future son-in-law?" tanong ni Dad.
"With his mom. Oh, look! Nandito na sila." I bent my head to see who's coming and my jaw dropped sa nakita. No way! This can't be happening. The whole world paused for a minute. Is this real am I not dreaming?
Napatayu ako dahil sa gulat.
"Asha?" his perfect-thick-brow arched.
"A-aden?" he looks surprised too but charming with his suit and all.
"You two know each other?" my dad asked.
"Uhmm, Dad. We only have one highschool here in Mindanao in case you forgot?" and he just cough.
"You're pretty hija. This marriage will not be in vain." ani Mrs. Esteban and I hurriedly bless her, beso is not my thing.
"So the discussion will be fast then eh? Hey waiter!" Mr. Esteban said and ordered something.
Aden is about to sit with his dad crossed to me when his mom stopped him and told him to seat with me. Fuck, this is awkward.
